We discovered at the Convention
the important tact that every one of

lina is better' than all the rest. '
We- are glad that election is over.
Not that we think the country gained
anything very valuable in the. new
men who took office, or suffered any
serious loss in the" going out of those
who had been in, but we feel that now
the peoplo can settle down to more: im
port ant business than political squab
bling. We are not indifferent to the
interests jf good government nor to
the viral importance of a free ballot.
We sympathize with every effort of
the people to procure better service
in public offices, but we do not find
ourselves much in sympathy with the
present political methods. We cannot
bid God speed to the party ship that
sets sail on a sea of whiskey, whose
canvas is filled with the breath of .
slander and abuse, whose cargo con

here "the night previous.
They came here to rest, and as .soon
as breakfast was over proceeded to
realize this object in vigorous fashion,
by rambling all ov er the place, gather
ing wild flowers, collecting mementoes
and in general "taking in" Southern
Pines. The Boston men were delight
ed to find here Mr. Joel M. Hold en, a
prominent business man of the same
city, who is so charmed with the place
thai he will make it his home a good
portion of the year.
After a day of rather active resting
these gentlemen together wth Mr. A.
M. Clarke, of Delta. Pa., another new
resident, met in the parlor of 1 the
Prospect House a nd gave expression
to their opinion of Southern Pines in
the following letter: ; .
Southern Pines, N. C, Nov. 1st, '86.
To F. W. Clark, G. P. Agt,
Seaboard Air-Line Railroad Co.
Dear Sir: . , ;
The Undersigned, citizens of several
states, now guests at Prospect Hotel,
Southern Pines, desire to express our
great obligations to you for the many
courtesies you have extended us during
the past week, and especially for your
thoughtfulnjss in bringing us to this
del ghtf ul resting- place. We have
found Southern Pines an attractive
and desirable resort tor invalids, tour-
sired. It is just the place for invalids j
and for all who wish a comfortable
home.
We find here a community of refined
and educated people vho came to
make a temporary stay because of the
healthfulness of the place, and have
received such benefits from it and have
found a residence here so delightlul
that they have become permanent in
habitants. j
We believe that when sportsmen
learn of the abundance jof quail, wild
turkeys, foxes and deer! they will re
sort to this place in great numbers ev
ery winter. '
The mildness of the climate is ex-
I s
emplified by the wildf and garden
flowers now in bloom! Some of us
have gathered to-day the following
garden flowers: Agera turns, Chrysan
themums, Carnations, Balsams, Ger
aniums, Verbenas, Petunias, Pinks,
Snap Dragons, Morning Glories,
Drummond Phlox, Roses (two kinds).
race, rsut it is rounded on the tunda
mental error that education does not
improve a man morally. Why should
not the State require that sound mor
ality should be taught in the public
schools?. Why should not a teacher be
required .to teach his pupils that it is
wrong to murder, to steal, to commit
adultery, to bear false witness or to
violate the laws of the land? And who
will undertake to say that such teach
ing is not calculated to elevate and im
prove any branch of the human fami
ly? The education of the head is good
as far as far as it goes, but the educa
tion of the moral nature combined
with that of the head is better. It
will pay the State to secure such an ed
ucation to the children. Hickory

HOW THEY RESTED.
Sunday morning the party of North
era 'editors' and others who had spent
" -' ! . t
Satuidav in viewing the beautiful
itv of Charlotte arrived here. They
consisted of Messrs. J. Clark Stuart
"and L. Clark Hariis, of Shippensburg,
Pu., 15. S. Phelps, of Pottersvillc, Nl
Y and journalist!. L. A. Dodge, of
1 ' i
native and northern-born citizens of
this vicinity, we j are onvinced that
there is no better place iSouth for the
cultivation of vegetables, small fruits,
grapes and peaches forj the Northern
markets and, as Southern Pines is but
22 hours by rail from New York city,
it has the advantage over other local-
ities at greater distance. While the
season here is fully as. early as that
of the coast there is this additional ad
vantage ac Southern Pines, that there
is no danger of frost, destroving the
earlier crops. j 4 !
We can conceive .of bu ons thing
requisite to the rapid popularizing of
Southern Pines as a health and pleas
ure resort for Northern visitors, and
that is that the enterprising railroad
system with which you are officially
connected shall so arrange its sched
ule that passengers liiay reach this
place in the day-time, without chang
ing cars on the road.
Very respectfully yours,
Lewis A. Dodge, Boston.

ists and jdeasiye seekers, and we de
sire to express our united opinions as
to the present condition and future
prospects of this place.
We find here a rolling country,
mainly covered with trees of long leaf
pine. The soil is a pure sand, which
insures a dry atmosphere. The water
is free from all impurities and is re
markably cool aud soft. The breeze
sweeping across these hills is fragrant
with the balsamic odor of the pine. In
every direction are firm roads winding
for miles through the woods that, be
cause of the peculiar nature of the soil,
will always be in good condition for
riding or driving.

A. proclamation by the President
of the United States: It has lonr
been the custom of the people of the
United States on a day in each year

custom, I, Grover Cleveland, Presi

designate and set apart Thursday, the
25th day. of November, to be observed
and kept as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer. On that day let all of, our
people forego their accustomed em

places of worship to give thanks to the
Ruler of the universe for our continued
enjoyment of the. blessings of a free
government, for a renewal of business
